I don't like how the new search engine works, I can't seem to filter out all non-english mods. Like every time I want to filter them out, I have to select each and every language now. Very annoying especially because translation mods into foreign languages are very common on Nexus.

Some of these ideas aren't bad, there are a few creatures in the base game that aren't displayed, but could be. Such as the Solstheim creatures, Skeevers and the Vale variations of critters. The Chaurus and Spider display could easily have included a skeever display or perhaps one for the Crystal Mudcrab mod. Solstheim Creatures could be displayed where the Bug Jars are currently located and those could be moved over besides BadGremlins Fairies and the Flora/fauna exhibit. The Eastern Dwemer Armor mod could have a dedicated display in the Hall of Lost Empires. Easily done by replacing that one free/empty display mannequin near the aetherium displays with a dedicated Eastern Dwemer Armor one.The Daedric Reaper and Ritual Armor of Boethiah could have identical displays, like the Ancient Daedric Lord Display but placed under the stairs, similar to Identity Crisis. Skyforge Weapons SSE would look good, displayed behind the Wolf Armour set, since they have unique models for those weapons. The Horker Weapons pack could go on display behind the Leather, Hide and Scale armours on the wall. East Empire Company Armor would fit in perfectly with the other Imperial sets.

So I've been playing LOTD for awhile now. And I like to use quite a lot of mods that are supported. However quite a few of these mods are old now and could really use a facelift. So I'd like to request a few of these mods get retextures or maybe replacer item/weapons of higher quality? BadGremlins Collection - I love a fun treasure hunt or just a hunt for collectibles in general and that's why this mod is normally a staple of my LOTD playthroughs. However it's hard to ignore that some of these collectibles look kind of bad now. Particularly the Fairies, some of the fish and definitely the Trophy Heads. The last one in particular would be most appreciated, giving the trophy heads a makeover, so that when they're on display, they don't seem off. Especially when people are using mods to improve the appearance of various characters/races etc. For Trophy Heads specifically using FAR or Male Dragonic mods for the Argonian head. Adding Bosmer horns to the wood elf head. For the humanoid races, the heads/faces should be improvable with mods that improve the faces and skins? Like Virtuvia or the Ethereal Elven Overhaul? The High-Poly heads from Vector Plexus seems like it'd be helpful for building the replacers. Oblivion Artifacts Pack - I like all the added items, they're decently spread out and look good on display in the Hall of Heroes. Though they can stick out rather notably when you're using mods that enhance other items on display. A retexture of the weapons and armours would be amazing with smaller items like the rings/circlets/necklaces being a nice bonus if they got retextured too. (This now has upscaled textures installed. Need to playtest and see how they look.) Skyrim Unique Treasures - This one is a mixed bag, some of these are decent and other items could use complete model replacers. Here's what I think need the biggest changes/model replacers. Golden Dibella Statue the model for this should theoretically be easily replacable with Ivoltz Dibella Statue. The Bear Figurine could use the bear model trophy from Bears of the North. The Gold Items models would need new models entirely, they also look a big too bright and plastic-like, I think they need a colour shift closer to Saints and Seducers, Golden Saints armor or this one. Gold models from Narrative Loot would be perfect for most golden items. The Golden Headdress could use the textures from JS Barenziah SE but keep the green gemstones it has. The Drinks I would like to see their models replaced maybe something similar to Better Wine Labels or Fadingsignal's Stros M'kai. Edited on 06/12/2021

It sounds like you should use Legacy of the Dragonborn, since it adds displays for all the vanilla items. Plus numerous collectible mods like badgremlins and armour/weapon/quest mod support. Like Heirofseptims Ruin's Edge and Staff of Sheogorath, immersive armors and immersive weapons, Ice Blade of the Monarch, Cheesemod for Everyone, Interesting NPC's, Volkihar Knight, Dawnguard Arsenal etc. As well as a storyline/quest line to give your collectathon a purpose beyond mounting all your fancy stuff on the walls/shelves. And it adds its own massive array of collectible goodies, such as paintings, sea shells, numerous gemstones etc. And if all that wasn't enough, it has two additional support mods for Fossil Hunting and Relic hunting. You can even craft replicas of items you lose at the end of quests. There's even support for Creation Club content, if all of that isn't enough already.

Ebony Armor Reshape (Changes Ebony Armor's designs) Resplendent Armor + Greatsword (Great looking set) DCR - King Crusader Mega Pack (Great set of armor and weaponry) Mead Keg Backpack (It fits for a Nord Fighter to be carrying around booze.)

No OnHolyServiceBound's skeleton mods affects the 'Existing' playable races. Basically it gives an aesthetic change in height, musculature etc to all the existing playable races. They don't add new playable races, here's some examples of his mods. Orc Overhaul Bestial Beast Races SE Racial Body Morphs And Rougeshot basically does the same thing, for the animals and monsters in Skyrim. Here's a link to his user page for all of his mods. I recommend at least using the Immersive Dragons mod. Since it gives them wings that actually 'look' like they could lift such heavy creatures. Rougeshot's User Page Looks like you have quite an extensive list of mods. I do hope they are all working great for you.

I haven't played in awhile, but the mods I really liked for armour and weapons are as follows. FrankFamily's Armour Mods. - All of the Frankly HD mods are great improvements for the already existing sets of armour in-game. Daedric Reaper Armour - Good looking Daedric Set. The Male and Female variants are visually different, but cool looking. (Couple of versions of this mod, floating around.) Dragon Carved Armor Set - By EddietheEagle This is both a good looking set, and one you could actually see existing in-game. Feels very authentic, and looks good alongside the other set added by Dragonborn Stormlord/Stormcloak Battle Armor Replacer SE - Make the Stormcloaks more visually distinct from your local guards. I recommend the Stormlord set either by itself or as part of the Stormcloak Battle Armor mod. Sleeved Guards and Stormcloaks - If you don't want to make as big a change as the Stormcloak Battle Armour, this mod will at least make the guards and Stormcloaks dress more appropriately for Skyrim's chilly weather. Last update was 2 years ago. Nether Mage Armor SSE - Not tried it, but it look really good. Dwarven Sorcery Armor - I remember liking the look of this armour set. But the textures can only be altered by mods that improve Dwemer metal/armour sets. Amiddian Armors - I believe these can be made to work on SSE, since they are only texture packs.

I believe the mod. Path of the Anti-Mage could give you something visually similar, and geared towards anti-magical combat.

That's a lot of Mods OoO. Are you by chance, also using mods like Rougeshot's skeletons for the various creatures running around or OnHolyServiceBound's skeletons for the playable races?

I have a few suggestions, based on my past playthroughs. Classes and Sub-Classes. MAGE - Ward Functionalities Extended, Wizard Hats, Telvanni Spellsword Armor, Dwarven Sorcery Armor and Rogue Sorceress Outfit Retextured ELEMENTAL MAGE - Elemental Destruction Magic, Shadow Spell Pack, Adept - Magic of Ash, Voltage + Ultimate HD Fire Effects VAMPIRE - Volkihar Royal Knight Armor, Sacrosanct, Ace Blood Magic THIEF - Thieves Guild for the Good Guys + Less Tedious Thieves Guild (Allows you to play as a more Honorable thief. And makes things less tedious as you progress through the ranks.) Deadly Shadows (Great for getting around on rooftops etc, for more immersive playthrough as a thief.), Frankly HD Thieves Guild Armors, Frankly HD Nightingale Armor and Weapons, Improved Shadowmarks & Prowler's Armor SE MAGE/WITCH HUNTER - Path of the Anti-Mage DARK BROTHERHOOD - Deadly Shadows (Also good for an Assassin playthrough.) Frankly HD Shrouded Armor, FIGHTER - Ebony Armor Reshape, Dragon Carved Armor, Resplendent Armor + Greatsword, DCR - King Crusader Mega Pack, Mead Keg Backpack (It fits for a Nord Fighter to be carrying around booze.), Pumping Iron. ALCHEMIST - XxAwesome_PotionsxX SSE + Small DLC and Misc Patch for XxAwesome_PotionsxX SSE, Complete Alchemy & Cooking Overhaul. (I feel like it adds a bit too much personally. But would be useful for a specifically alchemist focused playthrough.) All Classes - Bandolier and Pouches Mod, Leather Backpack & Hip Bag. (There are Bandoliers and Pouches that fit various factions. And there are multiple options for the Hip Bags.)

The Bandolier Mod kinda uses this idea, with the ability to create dyed Leather, for the dark bandolier and pouches. I think certain creatures should have unique leather or materials, that you could use to make specific gear. Like how you need Daedra Hearts to make Daedric weaponry. Maybe you would require Heartstones from Solstheim to make certain battle-mage armour? Or you could need Troll hide, Werebear/Werewolf Pelts and Sabrecat pelts to create a unique set of fur/leather armour? And maybe special armour required named enemies like the Udefrykte?

I'd love to see the Goblin Slayer armour someday in Skyrim. Maybe even a uniquely named NPC titled Goblin Slayer or 'Riekling' slayer on Solstheim. I thought about how it'd look in Skyrim, after seeing this pic on DA made in SFM. https://www.deviantart.com/half5life/art/SFM-Goblin-Slayer-769274734

Thank you. They look like a lot of fun and the Wench was kinda exactly what I was looking for...apart from the "BIG SHIELD" lol Heh yeah, well there's actually more than one wench, with that mod. :happy: So you get more than a few, wenches.

There's a few followers with quests. M'rissi's: Tails of Troubles - Fun and interesting quest, with a rather unique follower. Aeonbarr - a Unique and Summonable Horse (Convenient Horses Friendly) - Not a follower, but a unique horse, with a quest. Buxom Wench Yurianna - Only if you don't mind, or are looking for mature/NSFW followers. Recorder - Not lore friendly, but very interesting follower, with her own quests Evangeline - Follower with her own quests Jarek - The Custom Voiced Skeleton Necromancer Follower - No quests yet, but this mod is updated quite regularly. And there's plans for more. Acalypha - Follower and quest mod.

Alright, so this mod isn't asking for a complete overhaul of the NPC's, encountered in Skyrim. I'm looking for a mod to compliment such facelift mods, in particular the Massive NPC Facelift Project. Essentially what I want to do, is give some physical diversity to the NPC's of Skyrim. Taking into account a character's race, profession, back story and weapon style, if applicable. A mod like Racial Body Morphs is great, but I don't feel like it really helps tailor and customise each individual NPC. Although incorporating elements of that mod as a general rule, for the various races, would be nice. I imagine shop owners like Belethor, would look either a bit skinny, or overweight. While someone like Uthgerd, would have a bigger more muscular physique. Given she walks around in plate armour, all day. Beggars should look skinny and malnourished, Camilla should have a more appealing physique, given Faendal and Sven are swooning over her. Obviously a lot of what I just suggested would require a massive amount of work. But it's fun to think about.

I think a tattoo system for Skyrim, could be a fun idea. Let's make it more immersive though. So for instance, the Face Changer in the Ragged Flagon, could give you new tattoos, to hide your identity. Or to tattoo your arms, with thieves guild themed ones. There could be a magical tattoo artist in the College of Winterhold, who can offer you tattoos, with unique effects. The temples of the Divines could also offer you tattoos, one in different places, so if you follow all nine deities, you could get one tattoo for each of them. If you're a Dunmer or Daedra worshipper, you could get tattoos, related to the princes, worshipped on Solstheim. And certain guild members, or new guild member NPC's can give you tattoos for that guild. So Dark Brotherhood, I imagine Cicero or a custom tattoo artist, could do the job. Vex or Sapphire, for the Thieves Guild, or the previously mentioned, face changer. In Windhelm or Solitude, you could get Stormcloak and Imperial tattoos. And I think the Greybeards could give you Dovah'zul/dragon word tattoos, imbued with words of power, perhaps to give you passive buffs, against other shouts? So Draugr overlords can't keep spamming Fus Ro Dah! And knocking you all over the place. Lastly you should be able to gain tattoos for doing great deeds. So you could chronicle your adventures, on your body. So killing Alduin, you'd get a tattoo related to that. Finish the Companions quest, one for that, kill all the dragon priests or named dragons? Tattoos for those. I also imagine before playing the game, you could have a few limited, but unique tattoo options. To hint at your own past, good for roleplaying a character, in Skyrim.

I feel that would likely only happen, if Skyrim was rebuilt in a new engine. Similar to how Skyblivion and Skywind are rebuilding older Elder scrolls games, in the Skyrim engine.

I have to agree, this would be an exceptionally helpful resource. Especially given that too many NPC followers and NPC's in interior cells i.e, Taverns, can cause Crashes. The Sleeping Giant Inn is notorious for being a spot, where modders put their followers. But I find a lot of the better Modded followers, like Companion Valfar, Inigo and Sofia are conveniently placed in other locations, and the latter two have map markers, to find them more easily. And Inigo shows you his own map marker later on, in a very lore-friendly manner. To help track his location. I can list the modded Followers, whose locations I know. And others I haven't actually found/used. But I listed the location description on their mod page. Inigo - Riften Jail Nonara - Riften Tavern Sofia - Whiterun Stables Companion Valfar - On High Hrothgar Hoth - Morthal Tavern Jarek the Skeleton Mage - Anise's Cabin basement, near Riverwood and across the river, from the first three Guardian Stones. Mango - Embershard Mine Buxom Wench Yurianna - Embershard Mine, in the same cell as Mango. The other wenches in this mod, are found, by doing the quests. Akuto - The Bannered Mare M'Rissi - You'll find her, along the questline of her mod. Quest starts outside Whiterun, on the road to the lookout tower. Almost right outside the Elysium Estate mod Dwarven Luggage - Blackreach, in Sinderion's lab Dovahbear - Bee and Barb, Riften Kaidan - The Abandoned Prison Ihlenda the Dwemer Droid Companion - Dwemer Storeroom outside Mzulft Xanthys - Bleak Falls Barrow Aurlyn Dawnstone, the Reclusive Philosopher - High Hrothgar Recorder - Sleeping Giant Inn Viktor - Psychotic Imperial Guard Tank - Bannered Mare Nar'Tul the Wrothgarian Berserker - Kolskeggr Mine Vilja - The Bannered Mare Arissa - Dead Man's Drink, Falkreath Evangeline - First Inn you visit. Presumably the Sleeping Giant Inn K'Raarf the Thief - Ragged Flagon, Riften De'zicrah - Camping in Whiterun Hold. There's also an optional location file for the Longhouse in Narzulbur Acalypha - Custom Map Location, you can fast-travel to Nerevar Returns - Quest Marker to locate him Hjorold Frostbone, still in Alpha. - Location is near High Hrothgar Rayan - Riverwood Aeonbarr (Okay This is a horse Mod. But I felt like including it...) - Blacksted Barrow in western Falkreath, where you start the quest.

Well I personally use ICBINE4 (I can't believe it's not ENB version 4). This acts like an ENB, and has visually enhanced my own Skyrim, very easy to install, it comes with instructions when you download it. I also use Purity, which makes the water look clean and clear, especially the ocean and rivers. While ponds and pools tend to be murkier. And Hot springs have more vibrant colours, presumably due to the mixture of elements in the water. I also use True Storms, but be warned, the storms it makes, can be pretty damn intense. I use the Insanity Moons to make the Moons look nicer. There are patches for these mods, so they can work together. Now some bugfixes I recommend the Insignificant object remover, which removes lots of tiny things that you aren't going to notice or care about anyway, like pebbles, stones, some vegetation, underwater plants etc. Removing these things, means your game has to load fewer objects in the world. There's also a landscape overhaul that removes all those roadside walls and fences, the ones that are just there by the road, without any logical reason, like a nearby farm or home. I also use the Bug fixes Mod and the Crash fixes mod, alongside the Unofficial Legendary Patch (USLEEP). Alex's Bounty Hunting Rewards - Lets be frank, when you get asked to wipe out a bandit camp, you're going to feel cheated when all you get for the effort is a 100 gold. You can set the reward to a more reasonable reward level. And with enemy overhauls like OBIS, Diverse Dragon Collection, Deadly Wenches and Advanced Adversary Encounters - Ultimate Edition (AAE). The reward will feel rewarding, and not overly easy. Now for some combat tweaks and bug fixes Use the Melee Weapon Range Fix mod + Improved Weapon Impact effects, so metallic weapons will spark when hitting metal/stone. And so weapons have proper range. These are two subtle mods that you won't initially notice, but they do make combat better. No longer are you going to dodge an attack, and still get hit. Mortal Enemies is a big fix for the games. Basically not every enemy archer is hawkeye, and they can't track and hit you as easily. I.e, combat is fairer. Wiseman's Trap fixes + Traps make noise, will make Spelunking into a tomb, mine or cave, more dangerous. Since tripping one, can now bring enemies running. Though you could theoretically use it to setup magic traps, of your own if you're a sneaky mage. Or have a mod, that lets you set traps. Run For Your Lives is a mod, that improves immersion and stops a lot of civilians from getting killed off by Dragon and Vampire attacks. Especially late game, this irritated me a lot on console (PS3), as I sometimes didn't even know an attack was happening. Until I stepped outta Breezehome/Sleeping Giant Inn etc and found Nazeem and Amren dead. (No tears for Nazeem. Though he was kind enough to leave me some Gold. XD) Basically civilians will stay outta the way in battle, and won't try to punch the house-sized dragon, that just dropped a guard to his death. Nock to tip is a nice improvement to archery, though it doesn't add as much as say...Archery Gameplay Overhaul, it doesn't require you get a camera mod too. More Gear/Clothing Divine + Daedric Cloaks - To add more variety to the cloaks you and NPC's wear. Bandolier + Bandolier Upgrade - Adds a Bandolier of Pouches + Improved textures for the vial holders. Textures are effected by your thieves guild armour textures. Big Leather Backpack - Can give you and your followers more carry capacity. Also they look good. There's a lot of backpack mods out there though, so you've got plenty of variety Wearable Lanterns + Glass Fix for SMIM - ICBINE4 and Purity can get dark at night. Especially with True Storms, there is a mod that brigthens the nights. Purity - Brighter Nights. But if you like it, then these lanterns will be crucial for night time exploration or dark caves. ESO Nord Armor + Rustic Edition textures - Looks really good in Skyrim, the second mod gives it a bit of an aged look. Appropriate since ESO took place, in the past. Underwear replacer + female underwear retexture - If you're only using vanilla bodies like I am currently. Then this mod is a nice one, to make the naked/unclothed NPC's look a bit better

Well it depends on if you want I'll go ahead and offer what's been working well for me, so far.

I have some recommendations, that might be worth a gander... Wayfarer's Coat - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/73040 - Not an armour, but a rather nice looking bit of gear, that might suit your character.
